I, Robot [Book]





When I started reading this book I was thinking that it will be seemed as the book. Probably the only thing that is seemed are the names, some laws, and I dare to say that the movie is just another story that easily can appear in the book, another story of Susan Calvin.
The book starts with a man interviewing to Dr. Susan. She talks about the first robots, how they were working at first time, about what they were doing. For example, in this book the first one was a babysitter, and then the next generation was one who was sent to Venus. Well, all this robots are more complex every time, because they always are asking about ‘Human behavior’, and these issues are resolved in “I, robot” with the three laws of robotics.


Asimov has set up the Three Laws, which are:

1 - A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2 - A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3 - A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
